School Is Not Safe Anymore


 He walks to the class pounds as loud as can be,                                                                                                                                                                                  " Open up its me!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

 All the kids look at each other and one says,

 "Are you hurt?""Why are you doing this?"                                       

 The man was sad so he was acting bad                                                                               

 "Bullying is why I do this...bullying

  Is why many of you kids will be

  Dead with blood on the ground.

  You sha'll not cry, your friends will

  Be watching you up high. You will see 

  Your friends later when it's time for

 You to go up with them."

 "You're just sad thats why everything 

 You do is bad."

 School is not the place where you'll be safe. 

 School is the place where your kids don't want to be.

 At the end of the day 27 kids were dead.
